2004 Rsx

I was at the acura.com site and I looked at the 2004 RSX and they charge $1,000 more...Is there like a performance difference or someting cause I looked at the specifications and it looks the same as the 03's...www.acura.com

every year cars are going up like $1k or so. VW is doing the same thing. Honda S2000 same thing (yes I know they changed the displacement), but same idea

Well then... I would have to say you would be a real fool to go and buy the 04 for MORE money than an 03 that you could get factory clearance (low apr) specials on.

ya an 03 will be a better value. The VW dealership wanted to sell me an 03 wolfsburg for $18k (which is a good deal) cause the 04's were arriving later in the week. It's a good time to buy a car when the next years models come in.

1,000 bucks more...where are you seing that? All I see is a $50 increase. from 2003. According to Edmunds.com the 2003 Type S is 23,270 and a 2004 is 23,320. I doulble checked and that's the price in the '04 Acura.com build and price section

It might seem like a good idea to buy at year end, but not always...

you go and buy an 03 RSX now and get a good price, drive off the lot and it depreciates like any other car...

go ahead a year and now your 03 RSX is 12 months old, and you go to sell it. Well, its now in the same pool as the people who bought their 03s at the end of 02...

Yeah, your mileage might be lower, but if you're like some people who trade in every year or 2, this can hurt you a bit.

My Civic is an 01 that was bought brand new in 2/02 for a discount by the previous owner. But, when he sold it to me, KBB was showing that he lost more money in selling it to me than if he had actually bought an 02...

I spoke to a dealer two days ago and he gave me two reasons for the price increase:

1. Heated seats
2. Someone got it right earlier--more profit!

I believe he meant heated side-view mirrors.

What did you mean by $1000 more for the 04's LiTtOaZn2nR? It's a $50 increase from the 03's.

And nope, there's no major change in the 04's besides the heated side-view mirrors and replacing Redondo Red with Milano Red.

04s arriving in showrooms this month will have a 2.2 liter with 240hp and like 162lb-ft of torque, both peaking at lower revs and the new engine revs to 8k.

The dash is a little differet, as are some interior bits, and the front/rear fascias. Also new are 17in wheels...

Still called the S2000, and it seems like the rest of the world still gets the 2.0 liter 9000rpm F20C.
